New Minister plans to donate 500 TVs to cafes in the 3 troubled southern provinces of Thailand. This 'speak first think later' approach is aimed at diverting terrorists attention from planting bombs to watching the English Premier League instead.

The Prime Minister said "Don't worry, everything is OK, I've got it under control..." when large cracks were found in the new airstrip currently being constructed. He also told the public to ignore the American experts and their advice to rebuild the entire airstrip for fear of worldwide rejection.

A student in my grade 9 class warned that "If she had an orgasm, she would say 'Oh my God, it's dangerous' and find a new boyfriend".

Thailand's English skills are found to be lower than Myanmar and Laos.

A veteran Thai English teacher lost face when she failed to understand my joke. A 15 year old student did (laugh that is).

Reports of Monks driving Mercedes Benzes in Bangkok have just come in.....
